My husband and I didn''t exchange wedding gifts either. We were students and eloped in vegas. most of our money went towards our trip, food, and fun stuff. We also paid for our tuition each month with cash rather applying for student loans and I''d rather have a debt-free education than another trinketDate: 1/18/2005 117:37 AM

Am I in the minority? I didn''t get my husband anything when we got engaged... I had never heard of a man getting an engagement gift?? Is this a fairly ''modern'' thing or at least not very common?
We didn''t exchange wedding gifts either (although I had heard about those) -- we didn''t have much savings since we were young. What we did budget out of our savings we put towards the wedding and honeymoon -- which was worth it to us!
